Demonstrators plan to rally outside the suburban Chicago police department’s headquarters on Tuesday afternoon to protest the police killing of the 26-year-old Black man who was doing his job, CBS News Chicago reported.

“The officer that shot him, we still don’t know his name. They’re trying to keep that from us. So release his name, please. That’s what I want you all to do. Release his name, and he needs to have consequences,” Candace Ousley, a member of Roberson’s family, said.

A Midlothian officer shot Roberson while the armed guard was apprehending a man who fired a weapon inside the nightclub where Roberson worked. The officer reportedly ignored the bar’s patrons who yelled that Roberson was a guard.

“Upon arrival, officers learned there were several gunshot victims inside the bar. A Midlothian officer encountered a subject with a gun and was involved in an officer-involved shooting. The subject the officer shot was later pronounced deceased at an area hospital,” a statement from Midlothian Police Chief Dan Delaney said, according to WLS-TV.

Without identifying the officer, the department said he has been placed on paid administrative leave. He is a leader of the regional SWAT team with seven years of experience as an officer.

Roberson’s family has filed a federal lawsuit. There’s no good reason why the officer shot him, the attorney representing the family said, adding that Roberson was wearing a hat with “security” across the front, according to the Associated Press.

The church organist and father of a 9-month-old son was licensed to carry a gun, Cook County sheriff’s spokeswoman Sophia Ansari said. Roberson was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead on Sunday. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office ruled Roberson’s death a homicide and said he was shot multiple times.

People who were uncomfortable voting for a Black candidate weren’t just tricked into being racist due to the racist ads. If you really want to fight all forms of racism, @SenSanders, that includes the kind where you go along with the racist system. Not all racism is blatant. https://t.co/6Uro11ZMuf

This is 100% racism.

“I think you know there are a lot of white folks out there *who are not necessarily racist* who felt uncomfortable for the first time in their lives about whether or not they wanted to vote for an African-American,” Sanders said. https://t.co/LECC7pBMKS

I realize @SenSanders may have been trying to avoid calling white voters unwilling to vote for a black person racist, perhaps for his own reasons. But rather than worrying about whether they are racist, call what they are doing racist. It isn’t difficult. https://t.co/486YioadMT

.@BernieSanders says some people aren’t “necessarily racist” but were “uncomfortable” voting for people because they were black. Many would define not supporting someone based solely on race as racist. https://t.co/lxbmIha8pF

Sen. Bernie Sanders got himself a heap of backlash. In an interview with The Daily Beast in which he was referencing Andrew Gillum in Florida and Stacey Abrams in Georgia, Sanders said, "I think you know there are a lot of white folks out there who are not necessarily racist who felt uncomfortable for the first time in their lives about whether or not they wanted to vote for an African-American."
Now he is trying to explain himself.

Sanders also told NPR, "Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum ran brilliant campaigns. Created enormous excitement at the grassroots level, and were running in states that are tough states for Democrats." He also said, "There's no question that in Georgia and in Florida racism has reared its ugly head. And you have candidates who ran against Gillum and ran against Stacey Abrams who were racist and were doing everything they could to try to play whites against blacks. And that is an outrage, and we have got to continue doing everything that we can to fight all forms of racism."
Nonetheless, Twitter was not feeling Sanders' comments. See the reactions below:
